Breaking Free from the Guilt Trap: From Energy Manager to High Performer


Listen Later

You say “I feel guilty.” But is that really what’s happening?

In this episode, I’m calling out the biggest lie high performers tell themselves—and what’s actually keeping you stuck in overgiving, overfunctioning, and overthinking.

You’ll learn:

  • The real emotion behind “guilt”
  • Why you feel bad setting boundaries (even when you know better)
  • The 3-part script to break the guilt cycle for good

This episode isn’t a self-help pep talk. It’s a pattern interrupt.

Resources:

Hyper Achiever to High Performer Private Podcast: This series unpacks what most people never tell high performers: your next level isn’t about doing more—it’s about feeling safer doing less. It’s about trusting yourself deeply, leading without force, and accessing your full power without burning out. 

 The Love Letter Subscription: $9/month or $99/year—and wake up every morning to a reminder that rewires your brain. Get Regulated: A self paced course that walks you through getting to know your nervous system reactions and helps you create a plan to overcome old patterns and spend more time feeling peaceful and happy.

The Upgrade: If you don’t want to DIY it with a course, but you aren’t quite ready for the level of private coaching, the Upgrade is for you. A 12 week guided course delivered via email and private podcast, designed to expand your nervous system’s capacity to stay regulated PLUS 12 weeks of personalized text and voice coaching (via Voxer).

 Private Coaching: If you want me right next to you, accessible and available when you need coaching as you achieve your goals and create the life you love with EASE, private coaching is what you’re looking for. This is high touch, bespoke, quick, and by application only.
